There is little change to note in the situation this week.
Almost all interests continue to an extent disturbed
by the agitation of tariff revision in Congress, by the
neglect to decrease taxation, and by the determined opposition which is manifested to the suspension of the coinage of the silver dollar. Congress appears disposed to
give no heed to the warnings of the press, or to the sug-
gestions either [of the Secretary of the Treasury or the

by Lord Granville and others, that the object
of the British Government in landing troops in Egypt was
not conquest with a view to occupation and annexation,
but simply the restoration of Egypt to herself. At the
same time, as is apparei t rom the most cursory view of
the general situation, a considerable time must elapse
before it will be possible to leave Egypt entirely to herself.
Out of the chaos and confusion consequent on the war of
the rebellion, the elements of strength and stability must
be gathered, order restored, and a government built up.
The circular of Lord Granville is, on the whole, a satisfactory document. It indicates the best of motives towards
Egypt and the Egyptian people; and it is well calculated

previous two years, and that the demand was, consequently,
not likely to be very active until these stocks had been absorbed,
especially as a higher range of values was apparently about to
be witnessed. In short, there was a strong and almost universal
" bull" feeling, particularly in the United States, and a large
speculative and anticipatory business was done in all depart-
ments of the trade; but as Manchester received less support
than New York and Liverpool, the prices of yarns and goods
did not hold their ground so well as those of raw cotton. As
the year advanced people began to see that there would after
all be no scarcity of cotton, but although the high prices
generally predicted at the opening of the year were not touched,
there was no material average decline, and the general result
of the fluctuations was to narrow the margin between cotton
and yarn, aad between yarn aad cloth. The upshot was disappointment and loss to importers and speculators in Liverpool
and diminished profits to spinners and manufacturers in Lancashire.
But BO faras consumers were concerned, the last three
months of the year were distinctly more satisfactory than the
preceding nine months, owing to the rapid decline in the price
of cotton in consequence of the improved prospects of supply,
the smaller relative decline in yams and goods giving both
spinners and manufacturers very remunerative margins.

I.MPORT.— Notwithstanding
the great reduction in the outturn of the American crop, the import into Great Britain in
1882 was only 149,670 bales less than in IsSl. This' is due
partly to the tardy shipment of the last crop during the early
part of the season, and partly to rapid movement of the present
crop in the corresponding period of the present season, the
imports in the last three months of 1382 being 862,050 bales,
against only 622,450 in 1881 and 797,830 in 1880. The Egyptian
import shows a decrease of 41,720 bales, in consequence partly
of the diminished crop, and partly of the late opening of the
shipping season, owing to the war. There is an increase of
71,850 Brazilian, 2,860 West Indian and r)14,510 East Indian.
The increase from the East Indi es is due partly to the larger
crops and partly to the fact that a greater portion than usual

Export.— As already
explained, the import of East Indian
1882 was abnormally large, owing to
exceptional circumstances. As Continental spinners got less
than their share direct from India, they subsequently bought
what they required from the speculators who had brought the
cotton to Liverpool and London, and for the most part they got

there would remain about 4,393,000 bales for shipment to
Europe in 18S2-83, bat as it was possible that the American
stocks might be only partially replenished, we assumed that the
exports to Europe might reach 4,500,000 bales. Since then the
condition and prospects ot the American home trade have not
been so good as had been expected, and it is now considered
doubtful if the Northern mills will consume much more cotton
than they did last season. There will be some increa.se. however,
in the South, and the low prices will unquestionably lead to a
more or less important addition to the stocks at the mills. The

At one time it was thought that the Brazils would send an
increase upon last season's supply, but it is now generally believed by those in this special branch of the trade that there
will be deficit, and some .say a considerable one.

the import was 406,000, and the season before 249,000 bales.

crop promises to be about 2,250,000 cantars, or about 320,000
bales. Deducting 1C9,000 bales for import down to December
3l8t, there remain 191,000 bales to receive in the first nine
months of 1883. From sundry Mediterranean sources there will
probably come about 37,000 bales and from Peru, West Indies,

for the last nine.

The fact that prices have touched a level from which in former
years (except in the panic of 1878-9) a rebouni has invariably taken place, makes it pretty certain that as the season

The money market during the past week has shown an evi"
dent tendency towards ease, and the open market rate of diseoant for three months' bills is now not more than 3% to 3/ij
per cent. The Bank rate remains, however, unaltered at 5 per
cent, and some surprise has been expressed because no change
has been made, more especially as the Bank return is a crood
one. Furthermore, as the American and Continental exchanges
are favorable, there is every prospect of the Bank assuming
before long a very strong position. The return of coin from Pro-

The weather has been very unfavorablw for agricaltaral
work — having been warm, wet and miaty daring the whole of
the week. The state of the land is very nnsatisfactory, and
.several
weeks of dry weather
will
be needed before farther
progress can be made.
The supplies of wheat and Hour afloat
compared with last year, but stocks in
show a falling off
granary show a considerable increase. It must, however, be borne
in mind that, compared with the early part of October, the
stocks of foreign wheat in granary have declined considerably, the deliveries of British farmers during the last three
months having been upon a small scale. Bad weather and
low prices have been no inducement for farmers to thresh
freely, bat they have sold liberally of other kinds of grain.
The tride during the week has been decidedly firm, and choice
hom»-grown produce and most descriptions of foreig-n wheat
have realized about Is. per quarter more money. The prospect for Europe, as far as cereals and especially wheat are
concerned, is far from encouraging, the excessive rainfall and
heavy floods having impeded agricultural work in nearly
every direction. The tendency is just now to hold wheat for
better prices.
The following return shows the extent of the imports of
cereal produce into the United Kingdom Iduring the first
twenty weeks of the season, compared with the corresponding
period in the three previous seasons:

Bniiiswick. A Memphis dispatch, Jan,
"filed with the County Register to-day a
first mortgage for $6,000,000 upon its property and franchises,
to guarantee the Trust & Safe Deposit Company, Philadelphia,
for the purpose of raising funds to build and equip the road
from Memphis to Holly Springs, thence to the western line of
Alabama, a distance of 175 m'les. Only 75 miles of the road is
graded. This road constitutes a portion of the system controlled
by the Erlanger Syndicate."

New York City & Northern.— The Evening Post of Friday
" We have received the following respecting the foreclosays
sure of the tirst mortgage of the New York City & Northern
Railroad Company from parties conversant with the details.
In September last'tKe holders of a majority in amount of the
four million mortgage of the New York City & Northern
Railroad Company, of which the Central Trust Company
of this city is trustee, by appropriate action instructed the
Trust Company to institute a suit against the railrcad
company and others for the foreclosure of the mortgage, because of the default in payment of the interest which accrued
on the first day of May last. The railroad company and other
defendants demurred to the complaint on the ground that,
by the terms of the mortgage, a continuous default
of one year must elapse b^fi.'re the bondholders could
enforce any right of foreclosure for the non-payment of interest.
This demurrer was argued before Judge Lirramore at the
Special Term of the Supreme Court in January, and his decision has lately been filed overruling the demurrer, but with
leave to the companj' to answer upon terms. This decision
assures to the bondholders their right to foreclose this mortgage for the non-paymeat of any coupon as it shall mature,
and under the statutes of this State, as they now exist, upon
such foreclosure, if the mortgage property is si situated that
the entire propit cannot be advantageously sold in parcels
erty covered by the mortgage may be put up and sold; and
this, although the principal sum secured by the mortgage has
not become due."

Western Union T^lesrapli— Hutn.il Union.— In regard to
the negotiations between these companies the Times reports
that parties supposed to be well informed said that a lease of
the Mutual Union lines for 100 years to the Western Union had
been agreed upon. The terms were stated to be those already
printed— the interest on the $5,000,000 of Mutual Union bonds,
6 per cent per annum, and 1^ per cent on its stock.
— The Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance]Company presents
another column its 37th annual statement. 1 his company,
which is at the head of the famous insurance corporations of
Connecticut, now reports assets of $51,602,422 78, with a surplus
over all policy liabilities of $6,850,000 according to the New
York legal standard of valuation. The officers of the company
may also have a peculiar satisfaction in calling attention to the
fact that the company's profit and loss item of $155,853 mainly
represents gains on "the sales of Western property (taken on
forec!osure\ which they have always claimed would turn out to
be among the company's best as.set8. As to the company's secure position, it will be observed that, even on a 3 percent basis
of valuing its policy liabilities, there is a surplus of $3,707,398;
on a 4 per cent basis, $3,724,844; and on the New York legal
standard of 4^ per cent, a suplus of $6,850,000. The ratio of
expense last year was only 8'75 per cent of the income, or a little over one-half the average expense ratio of American life
companies as a body. The protection of this great property is
in the careful hands of Mr. Jacob L. Greene as President and
John M. Taylor as Secretary, together with their able corps of
in
assistants.

5,314,000 bushels, against 4,870,000 buslicls in the correspond-

movements in leading articles of domestic production, and
i
they certainly sliow a decided increase over the movement of
last year at this time.
But tlie month of January was not
favorable for activity in mercantile business or for largo railroad rcctipis on the roads of the northern and western States,

nondg.—The impression has gained ground
that the 120th call for bonds issueu last week was hardly warranted by the condition of the Treasury and its prospectire
revenues, and henco there has been more inclination again to
purchase the 3 and 3}^ per cents, instead of the higher priced
long bonds. The disbursements must be large in the future:
the reserve of gold i.s reduced; the coinage of silver dollars
will probablv not be stopped; and the revenue or customs
receipts are hkely to be cut down by f>)ngress at the present
session.
So it is argued that the furtlier redemption of bonds
is likely to be small.
The closing prices at the N. Y. Board have been as follows:

has mucli to do with the decline in sevstocks. Tliis prospective competition has frequently been referred to in our reports during the
past year, and it has often been suggested tliat tlie business in
certain sections must necessarily be divided, and unless the
tonnage increased, the old roads must, to some extent, be the
losers.
Is it not true tliat a present or prospective competition
has had a material influence on such stocks as those of the
Vanderbilt roads, including Northwestern and Omaha, Erie,
Union Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande. Texas Pacific, and some
otliers? It is quite possible tliat the effects of such competition
liave been unduly exaggerated, but the basis of truth was there
and was made the foundation for an attack on the stocks.
The money mariet has been quite easy, and 5 per cent is
rather an exceptional rate for call loans to stock borrowers, tlie
bulk of business having been done at 3>^ and 43^ per cent.
Government bond dealers have paid 2@3 per cent. Prime
commercial paper of two to four months is quoted at 5®)}^
per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement ou Thursday showed
a gain of £380,000 in specie, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 463^, against 47 3-16 last week; the discount
rat« remains at 4 per cent.
The Bank of France gained
9,175,000 francs gold and 1,975,000 francs silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Feb. 3 showed a decrease of $2,167,535 in their surplus
reserve, the total surplus being $7,840,050, against $10,007,575

State and Railroad Itonds. In State bonds the principal
dealings have been in tlie Arkansas railroad bonds and in ilie
Tennessee compromise bonds the latter selling this morning
—
at 46i.^@47.
Railroad bonds have had a fair business, but not particularly
large for this season, as the attention of investors lias l)een
directed to the lower prices in the stock market, wiiich offered
some inducement for purchasing. The Mutual Union Telegraph bonds were about the most active of the bond list, at
rising prices, on the rumors of an adjustment with Western
Union Telegraph.
Railroad and Miscollaneons Stocks.— The stock market
has been very irregular during the week and the movements
from day to day exceedingly uncertain. There liave been
some sliarp reactions in prices, usually occasioned by purchases to cover short contracts, but there has not been a
strong and healthy demand which indicated a radical change
in the tone of the market.
It is well known tliat on a
weak market stocks are gradually accumulated in stronger
hands, and some considerable amounts are taken out of the
Street and paid for in cash, so that the process of liquidation
carried on in this manner finally lays the foundation for a
decidedly better market. Tliis is only true, however, where the
outlook for the future is good and where there is no apprehension of financial difficulties ahead which may interfere with
the natural course of affairs. At the present moment the
prospect ahead seems reasonably fair at least after tlic adjournment of Congress on the 4th of March next
One of the lively occurrences in the market was the twist
given to tlie shorts in Lake Sliore who had not delivered their
stocks by 2:15 P. M. on Wednesday, and some 3,600 shares
were bought in at the Exchange "under the rule " at pricej*
about 1 (jer cent liigher than the market price "regular."
Although this proceeding against strong houses was disapproved by some parties, it had the effect of stirring up tho

New Jersey.—The correspondent
of the Ti-ihune
Feb. 5 telegraphed: " Receiver Little, of the
Centr;il Railroad Company of New Jersey, said to-day that he
hoped at an early date to request the Chancellor of New Jei-sey
to release the company from the receivership. There are few
railroad companies, he said. that have not a larger floating debt
than the Central, and, but for the requirements of the law
which make it nrcessary for the company to be free from this
class of debt befiire the receivership is di.s.solved, it could be run
on a Sound basis at any time. There is a sum of about $1,500,000
standing against the company which must be cleared off. The
company has assets beyond its business needs to equal this
amount, under proper management, and when the Reading and
Vanderbilt interests, which seem to be practically identical, or
the Lehigh Valley Company, are readr to use the road, it can
go out of its present condition by their advancing the sum
named. The New Jersey Central, the receiver claims, has the
only available water front on either shore capable of accommodating a vast Western business, and its shore privileges are of
the greatest value to any Western line."

agency of the State.
Manhattan Elevated.— The decision rendered by the GenTerm of the Supreme Court in the suit of the Manhattan
Railway Company against the New York and Metropolitan
elevated railroad companies and the individnal stockholders
of the last-named corporation, puts out of the way the injunceral
tion orders which have restrained the bringing of suits against
the Manhattan Company to compel it to observe the obligations
of the original lea.se under which it obtained possession of the
elevated roads. The injunctions weregranted and continued by
Judge Donohue, one in May last and one in November. The first
restrained the bringing of new suits to test the validity of the
amended lease of Oct. 22, 1881, and the second the issuance of
certificates of Metropolitan stock bearing a memorandum that
the Manhattan Company guaranteed an annual dividend of 10
percent upon the Metropolitan's capital stock of |6,500,000. The
opinion of the court is by Judge Macomber, and Presiding Jndge
Davis and Jndge Daniels concur in its conclusion. • * * *
In conclusion. Judge Macomber says: "It is hardly necessary
to say that this opinion is not intended to go further than is
required to decide the appeals, namely, to show that there exists no legal reason why the plaintiff should longer hold the
injunctions, or why the defendants should longer be deprived of such suits as may be required to redress their
grievances. The orders appealed from should be revetsetl, with
Denyer & Rio Urande Western.— The following informais supplied at the company's olBce:
The road from Salt costs."

The speculation in cotton for future delivery was fairly
active last Saturday, and on a demand to cover contracts
prices advanced 5@7 points, but there was a nearly equal
decline on Monday. On Tuesday there was some firmness
again, but business was very dull the sales, 19,600 bales, were
said to be the smallest transactions in futures for any day
since the organization of the Cotton Exchange. On Wednesday prices further advanced 3@3 points, but the speculation
was quite slow. Yesterday a sluggish and somewhat uncertain opening was followed by a very buoyant market. Liverpool accounts were better, there was a falling off in the crop
movement and an eager demand to cover contracts, upon
which tills crop advanced 15(317 points, and the next crop

party. To-day, however, about a third of yesterday's advance
was lost, and the market closed unsettled. Cotton on the spot
has met with a fair and general demand, and yesterday quotations were advanced l-16c. It is understood that the rather free
deliveries which have been made on February contracts this
week have been largely sent to store. To-day the market was
quiet and steady at lOj^'c. for middling uplands. ^

Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely rme ye4r
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a i-omparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not inclnde overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the pl.Tutatioas of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market Ihron^rh the out-ports.

XXXVI,
Mr. Ellison's Annual Ciecdlae.— In the transmission of Mr.
week by cable, there was a strange mixture
made of ordinary bales with those weighing the average of
400 lbs, and consequently some of our deductions were inaccurate. Furthermore, in sending the estimated stocks Sept
30, 1883 the estixated stocks in the mills were omitted, while
the mill stocks on Jan. 1, 1883 were included in the supply
figures, and hence our conclusion on that point was also inaccurate. We now give below a revised statement of Mr. Ellison's estimated supply and consumption up to Sept. 30 as
Ellison's circular last
follows.

These stocks at ports are the same as our cable gave them,
but as all the above figures are ordinary bales instead of bales
of the average of 400 lbs. weight, the estimated consumption
allowed for (4,836,000 bales) equals 5,225,000 bales of 400 Its.
